  The Day Armageddon Came

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my grandfather only had a third grade education and knew little about the bible when jws called on him.

  he was a different breed of jw than those of modern times.

  he truly cared about people and would give them the shirt off his back.

  Thank you. It's been a year to the day of his passing.

  I believe many of those who came out of the Great Depression era really cared for their fellowman.

  My grandfather only had a third grade education and knew little about the Bible when JWs called on him. But he was a different breed of JW than those of modern times. He truly cared about people and would give them the shirt off his back. He helped people out practically, sometimes giving people money, sometimes giving them vegetables he grew in his extensive garden, doing repairs to people’s homes, or anything he could do to help. And it wasn’t that he only helped JWs...he helped non-JWs too, and not just to try to convert them. My grandfather never shunned me--even when I made plain to him that I didn’t believe the Watchtower religion.

  I do have hope that I will see my grandfather again one day and that he will be waiting for me.

  However, the final days of his life were not peaceful. So long had he been under the spell of Watchtower theology, that as he was on his deathbed, Armageddon was going on all around him. He was genuinely terrified.

  “It’s finally here,” he said. “I can’t believe I’m seeing it. It’s so terrible.”

  In his mind, there were flames and destruction. Satan had taken him out the hospital bed to the airport and there he fought the Devil tooth and nail.

  The end indeed did come for him, a personal Armageddon. I only wish it had been a less frightening parting.

  2. current

  i was ready to vote today but i found out i had to be registered 30 days in advance, i missed the mark by 4 days.

  anyway, even though i selected a party, i was on quite a few votes going to vote for other parties.

  here is why, i was looking up the websites of each candidate.

  No party really represents me. In the US, there is only Republican and Republican-Lite. To be sure, the current president is the best Republican in that office for quite some time.

  Or the Zone Visit may be simply be so dull, it will test people's faith to just sit through it.

  hello guys & gals!.

  we've just launched our brand new episode, s01e01 - irwin zalkin, which we recorded last night.. you can listen to it right here - http://www.jwpodcast.org/2014/11/03/s01e01-irwin-zalkin.

  in this ground-breaking bumper show, we interview irwin zalkin, the lawyer who filed and won this new child abuse case against the watchtower organisation, which saw the victim, jose lopez awarded $13.5 million.. i think you'll agree with me (after listening to the interview) that irwin really knows his 'watchtower' stuff!.

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  they're both doing an excellent job... but which lawyer do you believe is currently best equipped to expose the watchtower's child sex abuse scandals and cover-ups?.

  i thought the undenable proof was pretty evident in the watchtower study this past weekend.

  no war, preaching work, disfellowshipping....yeah, that's pretty convincing evidence.. .

  no war?
